You recycle your household waste. You buy locally grown food, fit low-energy light bulbs and try not to use the car unnecessarily. Maybe you even irrigate the garden with your bath water. But you've still got an environmental monster in your house. Your toilet is wrecking the planet.
Before you point to the brick you've put in the cistern, it's not about the water - well, not entirely. The big problem is pee. Your pee. Do you flush it away without a second thought? Tsk, tsk. Lose the green halo.
At first sight urine looks like an unlikely environmental menace. What harm could come from flushing away a fluid that is mostly water, plus a smidge of proteins and salts? Surprisingly, the answer is "a lot". Pee-cycling - earth - 20 December 2006 - New Scientist Environment
